Many of
you were probably huge Gi-Joe fans when you were younger. If you
weren't, well... quite frankly, YOU SUCK.

Anyway, one
of the most famous characters from the Gi-Joe series was STORM SHADOW,
the white cobra ninja. You knew the guy had balls from the get go. I mean
think about it... Ninja's are all about "stealth" and this guy
goes around in a bright white outfit!? You just KNEW he had to be able to
kick major ass if he didn't have to go around being a "stealthy
ninja".

And kick ass
Storm Shadow did. I think just about every single member of Cobra got
his/her ass kicked by the Gi-Joe's on a regular basis. The only one that
was able to hand a severe beating to the Joe's was, yep you guessed
it... STORM SHADOW!

And of
course Storm Shadow had a good assortment of weapons:

Obviously,
he was not a guy you wanted to fuck with.

Allow me to
quote Gi-Joe's karate man, Quick Kick, after Storm Shadow broke
his leg for the second time in one day:

"This
just isn't my day" - Quick Kick. (Episode: "Excalibur")

See he knew
Storm Shadow was "the man" and so did you I'm sure. But did you
know that in Argentina Storm Shadow wasn't called "Storm
Shadow"? Get this, in Argentina the Storm Shadow character was called
"SATAN"!!!

You think
I'm joking eh? Well here's the proof, buddy boy:

Right under "Red
Cobra" it says his codename (nombre clave) is SATAN!Click on the above picture to enlarge it and see for
yourself!

Don't
worry there's more. We've got Satan's Info Card!

The info
card translates:

"Expert in archery, this Cobra enemy is used by his commandos for those operations where precision and supernatural cold blood are needed. The arrow in his hands transforms into a laser ray due to its range and devastating effect of his shots. Very few saw him, and even less were lucky enough to be able to describe him."

SATAN was
made from the EXACT same cast that Storm Shadow (1984) came from. He was a
perfect replica of Storm Shadow, but there was one other big difference
between STORM SHADOW and SATAN.
Yes they had different colored outfits and different names... but did you
know that they had different colored backpacks!?!?

Yes it's
true folks. SATAN preferred a brown
backpack as opposed to the traditional black backpack that was worn by
Storm Shadow. Why is this? Does the brown backpack offer better camouflage?
Is it a gateway into the 5th ring of hell? Unfortunately, the answer to
these questions may never be answered for us. Damn you Satan, Damn you!

Can you
imagine if we only knew about this figure when we were kids!? Think about
going up to mom and dad and telling them, "For Christmas this year, I
want Satan!" They'd have you in therapy in a heartbeat!

So there you
have it. The proof that Gi-Joe had an enemy that was probably even more
scary than Storm Shadow himself! Gi-Joe's worst enemy was none other than SATAN
HIMSELF!

So
remember Storm Shadow's wise words:

"Do
not ever cross me! not only do I possess the great skills
of a master ninja, but I also posses the powers of SATAN!"
